Reception

Dave Sindelar from Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings felt that by shooting the film in color it "stripped the series of one of its strengths", also criticizing the film's first half, score, and dubbing.[2] Andrew Pragasam from The Spinning Image awarded the film six out of ten stars, noting the film's uneven narrative, but stated that its mixture of humor and horror was still entertaining.[3]
